Maximum weight the bridge can support in kilograms is 101696

Step-by-step explanation:

  • Step 1: Given capacity of bridge = 100 British tons. Find how many kilograms are equivalent to 1 British ton.

1 British ton = 2240 pounds

1 pound = 0.454 kg

⇒ 1 British ton = 2240 × 0.454 kg = 1016.96 kg

  • Step 2: Find how many kilograms are in 100 British tons.

⇒ 100 × 1016.96 = 101696
